This bottling of a 10-year-old Miltonduff was produced by the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in the Distillery Labels series. As a so-called Licensed Bottling, the bottle receives a label in the design of the original labels of the distillery.
Nase: Salzkaramell und kandierte Mandeln, ein paar gehackte Walnüsse und anschließend einiges an Erde. Zudem finde ich Apfelschalen und Süßkirschen, aber auch Quitten und Litschi, etwas Malzbier und entfernt Rosinen.
Gaumen: Äpfel und Orangen, Haferbrei und Malz. Aromatischer als die alten Originalabfüllungen, recht süß kommt der Miltonduff trotzdem daher. Eine ganz zarte Rauchnote schmecke ich, vielleicht verbranntes Brot und Ruß. Zum Ende kommt Pfefferminztee auf.
Abgang: Kurz und sanft. Getrocknete Äpfel, Gewürznelken, Orangenmarmelade und ein Hauch Eichenholz.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
